JAMMU, Feb 11: In a moment of immense pride for Jammu's cultural fraternity, Director Natrang, Balwant Thakur, honoured a group of exceptionally talented young theatre artists who are set to create history as the first children's theatre group from Jammu to participate in the world's largest international theatre festival. The felicitation ceremony was held at the iconic Abhinav Theatre amidst a jam-packed audience comprising prominent citizens, theatre lovers, parents, and well-wishers.
